Because only mouth-breathing droolers sit home and watch cable news all day, and said droolers also tend to be overwhelmingly retarded Republican.

If you can honestly say you are proud to get your "news" from Fox... then there's really no point in any further conversation. Have a nice life.

A lot of people who disagree with their politics watch it just to get annoyed at them, or to laugh at them.

Between you, me, and the wall...I'm gonna go with the republican base as the one sector of the population willing to sit in one place and watch/listen to the same thing for hours on end.

I watch FOX News for their Fair and Balanced reporting of the political issues.

That would help explain the popularity of NASCAR.

Damn libtards and their `Hey, let's go outside during the day and drink lattes and toss a Frisbee around!' philosophy! They should be hunkered down in front of the tube, being told what to think and what to fear.

"Glenn Beck, is up 212% in the demo and up 128% in Total Viewers."

This is all you need to know to get a good feel about the viewership of foxnews.

Anyone that would watch that douchenozzle for anything other than entertainment value has problems.

the above posters have more in common with fox viewers than they realize or acknowledge.

It's a shame that people who go to the trouble of trying to label themselves as conservative won't even show any disdain for the fact that Fox claims to speak on their behalf.

Oh well, I guess having any dignity is too much effort and they'd risk being thrown off the precious "team".

I had no idea he even brought up MSNBC. That's impressive that you were able to read that in to his comment and then respond to it as though it had happened.

But really, Fox has the most entertaining crazies on TV. CNN only has Lou Dobbs.

 
Mr. Coffee Nerves [TotalFark] 2009-04-29 09:23:23 AM  
I find it curious that this source didn't give us any more detailed demographic information, i.e. education levels, incomes, occupations.

I'm guessing the audience breakdown goes along these lines:

35% -- Freepers and "true believers" who need an echo chamber for validation
20% -- Doctor's offices that are forced to turn it on by members of the the previous group waiting for appointments
10% -- Actual conservative Republicans who switch over to CNBC and CNN regularly
10% -- Liberals looking to be enraged
10% -- Liberals looking to be amused
10% -- Men whose wives won't allow them to look at porn hoping for a leg-crossing panty shot
5% -- Writers for late-night talk shows

We have a bunch of TVs, but I only watch LOST, House, and the occasional movie. Of course, I utilize the DVR as much as possible to filter out the ads ;)

When FoxNews complains about the biased mainstream media....who are they complaining about?

I don't watch Fox news very often, but I'm at least going to give them credit for being the only major outlet that doesn't spend the majority of it's time sucking the president off.

I understand. You are a rabid independent. I get it. It's ok.

The man got elected twice by 55+ million people and NOBODY supported him. I understand.
